The 17-35mm EX DG lens covers a super wide-angle range, and has improved closer focusing over it's predecessor, and will now also accept a 77mm filter in front of the lens.
The lens is equipped with the Inner Focusing system that will keep the length of the lens unchanged while controlling aberration.
The super wide angle of this lens also makes it ideal for use with digital SLR cameras, providing a focal zoom range of approximately 25.5-52.5mm.
